Final change for the water and sewer reconstruction

The fourth and final change order for the water and sewer reconstruction project has been approved by the Petersburg City Council.

This change rectifies actual project quantities of various bid items, as well as, the addition of three items not included in the plans but which were deemed necessary by Public Works Director Karl Hagerman.

“The largest overrun on the project was for geotextile separation required in the trench line,” Hagerman stated. “This material was installed to maintain separation between the rock backfill and surrounding muskeg in the utility trenches.”
